A Hike On The Paulinskill Valley Trail & Lunch The 30 mile Paulinskill Valley Trail is a reminder from the past when the New York-Susquehanna and Western Railroad was thriving. Today the trail, which has been preserved by a group of dedicated people, connects us to the surrounding natural environment (http://www.libertygap.org/paulinskill-sussex.html). The trail is cinder-based which provides easy, level walking from Blairstown's Footbridge Park to the airport. The length between these two points is approximately 2 1/2 miles, however the length of the hike is negotiable. Meet on June 27, 2015 at Footbridge Park at 9:30 AM. Lunch will be served at the nearby home of Brigitte Hefferman and Ed Pisarchuk following the hike. Rain Date: Sunday, June 28, 2015. 8 -1 000025.0 25 .0002E7 20 6/27/15 9:30 AM
